Lives Left Tangled
Scribbling on paper stars, rising
Lost in the unbroken moment of a strange new clarity
when the wind whispers "no regrets"
to a dying sun that was never listening
Hearts beating in such an err of reason
Bitter sweet
Like children doing Monet
such a beautiful disaster
It's days like this I remember
how he unravled me
Cuz he knew pulling at my threads
was the only way for me to save myself
He wrote his name across my lines
& back again
Leaving me on my knees
gasping to the heavens when he said
"Stay."

...for us is that this slightly longer piece than of late demonstrates how wonderfully your poetry flows, Kandice - almost into itself at times. Your paintings theme makes a welcome reappearance and the effects you bring to this canvas are at once special, delightful and enchanting.

Bitter sweet truly characterizes this piece. You really have a way to tear at a reader's heart.
